Question 603General Subjects - Assistant Engineer
70% to passIn accordance with the federal regulations in 33 CFR Subchapter O, continuing violations of The Federal Water Pollution Control Act and international MARPOL regulations may constitute separate violations subject to civil penalties. Which of the following statements is true?
AEach hour of a continuing violation constitutes a separate violation.
BEach day of a continuing violation constitutes a separate violation.
CEach week of a continuing violation constitutes a separate violation.
DEach month of a continuing violation constitutes a separate violation.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Each day of a continuing violation constitutes a separate violation. The Federal Water Pollution Control Act and MARPOL regulations stipulate that each day a violation continues constitutes a separate violation subject to civil penalties. This is a common provision in environmental regulations, where ongoing noncompliance is considered a series of distinct offenses rather than a single violation. The other options (hourly, weekly, or monthly violations) are not accurate interpretations of the applicable regulations.
